March, 1886 Vol. 8 No. 3 Mrs. Martha Blue departed this life in Butler, Ga. on February 21, 1886, after a spell of about three weeks. She lived in Tazewell, Marion County, Ga. and was on a visit to her grandson, Mr. Solomon Fleming Butler. She was born in Warren Co., Ga. December 23, 1824, but moved when quite young to Marion Co., Ga., in which county she lived all her life. In her young days she joined the Missionaries, but was even then inclined to the Primitives, but never joined them until her husband, the late Simon Blue, was convinced that the Missionaries were wrong, when both of them forsook them and joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Phillippi Church, Schley, Co., Ga. and were baptized by the writer in 1868. Brother Blue preceded her to the grave about nine years. She leaves two children, several grandchildren, many friends and no enemies. Elder John Richard Respess
